Abstract: This paper presents the findings of parametric finite-element (FE) simulations of more than 5 wide-flange steel columns under cyclic loading. The column sizes, which are mostly highly ductile according to the current design ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the fatigue upgrading of typical cover plate joint connections in existing steel bridge girders through cover plate extension. The upgraded detail is created by removing the existing transverse end ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper aims to comprehend the behavioral aspects of beam-to-column subassemblies with highly dissipative circular hollow section (CHS) panel zones with emphasis on those with large panel aspect ratios ...

Abstract: This paper describes a research program involving wood-sheathed and cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm assemblies. The diaphragm’s response to in-plane monotonic and reversed cyclic lateral loading is investigated ...

Abstract: AbstractInteractions between local, flexural, and lateral torsional buckling often compromise the stability of structural steel members. An approach that integrates a displacement-based fiber element capable of simulating ...
